The Hobbit Hole III - Journey to the Cross-roads!

Posted on 12/17/2002 7:32:02 AM PST by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Journey to the Cross-roads

The Two Towers Edition

Come on! Come in! -if you would like to have some seedcakes and a pint and relax a while. (If it is a special occasion, we still have a few bottles of the old wineyards left!)

Our first thread ( New Zealander builds Hobbit hole ) reached 4,100 posts, and we thought that was big. Our second thread (The New Hobbit Hole ) held us for over 48,000 posts, and we loved it dearly. We talked about moving to a new thread for the last 38,000 posts, but we are really slow to muster! Finally, the time has come. Tomorrow (at 12:01 am, to be precise!) The Two Towers comes out, and we start a new chapter.

...wouldn't it be ironic if they suicide-bombed an anti-war rally?

I would have to try really, really super-duper hard not to applaud if that happened.

Well "ironic" wasn't the first word that came to mind.

Maybe they don't want you to know? They're afraid you'll tell Saddam to blow it out his shorts...

I suspect they just haven't updated that page, for whatever reason.

Fetch my sewing kit...

That's weird that you guys still see it at the yellow level. It doesn't make sense to me that there would be a time delay because of the distance...does it?

Mine switched as soon as you posted that high. I wonder if it's a cache thing.

It's switched now. But yeah, it IS odd. I hit refresh a bunch of times with no result...then it FINALLY switched.

Server cache thing, I guess.
